So I just bought a Outlet M6400 with the WXGA LCD display.

I managed to find the RGB LED display with Cables & inverter on Ebay

So my question is, is this a straight swap or is there something more I require

Cheers

I didn't find anything with a quick net search. I would figure it would be a straight drop in but I'm guessing you're gonna have to be the guinea pig.

Well I did the swap from a CCFL Display to the RGB LED Display, and it works great.

The key thing to get the swap done is the new cable assembly.

You can remove the inverter from the CCFL display you do not need it with the LED displays.

The new cable has an extra connector that hooks upto the Display. the rest of the connections are the same as the regular display (less the inverter of course)

Cables in the Display

1 - Web Cam
2 - Display left connector
3 - Display Right Connector
4 - Light Sensor
5 - Wireless

Cables from the Display

1 - Video GPU
2- Light Sensor Cable
3. Wireless Antennas

By the way the RGB LED display is incredible, no light leakage in these displays, and the Color is impressive to say the keast.

Very nice Dave....have you done any colour calibration on the RGB,I hear a few people saying it should be done to them to ensure the best result's.

How do you find the FX2700m,run cool,say comparatively to the FX3600m in the M6300?

I have not done a calibration on the display, since the sw for such is fairly pricey, I may search around for some profiles.

I will run some benchmarks shortly and see how it does.

I have noticed the GPU bandwidth of the fx2700 rates about the same as the FX3600.

One hting I definitely noticed is the redesign of the GPU assembly, they have a fan mounted directly on the GPU assembly now, and of course still have 2 heat pipes.

I will monitor GPU temps and see how stable they are

I'm jealous - I have replaced my screen with my old one from the 9400 which is only CCFL - still 1900x1200 but not the nice LED display but they have been reviewed as really nice so great going.

So is the connector the same (physically) as the M6300?

yes, the harness has an extra connector that plugs into the panel, but the GPU connector is the same

The have the web cam, GPU, Light Sensor, and LCD panel cables all bundled together in the harness
